Bad Kids:  The naughtiest children in history explores laws and punishments from ancient to modern day societies.  The author’s writing style is very tongue-in-cheek and humorous, while sticking to historical facts on the subject.  Several famous characters from history around the world are featured including their notorious childhood behavior.  This book is easy to read and engaging with comical illustrations, historical portraits and photographs as well as artwork to support the subject matter.  I would recommend this book for 4th grade and up due to some violent content.
